Big Brother 28 Spoilers: I Wish Haley's Super-Savvy Move Against Angela Is Something She'd Try More

Wait 5 sec.

Warning! The following contains spoilers from the Big Brother live feeds as of Wednesday, August 12th. Stream the feeds with a Paramount+ subscription and read at your own risk!Lala Varrett's Week 5 HOH has turned Big Brother Season 28 around, with the tables turned on the Red Corner alliance. While Kamu Kirk has become a hot commodity in the house as a "free agent" after his veto win, Haley Thogmartin and Chuk Anyanwu are struggling. Being on the block with Barrett Pfeiffer hasn't helped, but both will struggle a way to move forward, whichever one of them survives the upcoming eviction. It's frustrating to watch, especially with Haley, because I think she has the right tools to be really good at Big Brother. The evidence is right there in her fight with Angela Murray and how she went against the most chaotic Houseguest in the season, and could continue to use how she set that off to her advantage if she sticks around.

Now, with EW and the episode showing the fight in its entirety, there's one key detail that no one but Haley could've shared about that fight. For those who need the reminder, Angela flew off the handle on Haley after the latter alleged Angela told her about Dee Valladares trying to flip the vote. As Haley said in her confessional, that was a lie: She never once said it was Dee, but Angela's been lying to me for days about this vote and now she is backed into a corner, so, yeah. I think I put some wood on the fire there. Haley's lie caused Angela to spiral and cuss her out so badly that Lala ended up escorting her from the room. Dee hasn't entirely confirmed one way or another whether she trusts Angela used her name or not, but Haley's stoic reaction would really have me second-guessing what went down in that conversation. People who want to win Big Brother have to lie, and Haley showed she can do it well.

In fact, people who seem unlikable, or that no one would work with them, often find themselves surviving the week, because everyone would sooner leave someone in the game with no chance to win than someone who can. More On Big BrotherI'm Terrified For The Twist Big Brother Has Planned For Its 1000th EpisodeHaley can survive this week, but can she better her standing in the game? First, she'd have to stop isolating herself from the rest of the house and show that she's willing to work with others and let the past be the past. Right now, it doesn't seem like she's interested in doing that, which makes her chance of making any strides in the game even if she stays slim. If she does find some ins, however, her ability to tell the right lie at the right time would be an invaluable skill that would take her far in Big Brother. It reminds me of the time when Jackson Michie used a lie to sink Tommy Bracco in Season 21, and it ultimately led to him winning the game. If Haley could own this skill and use it for the game, she could reverse her fortune in this house. We'll see if she wakes up and goes for it, as Big Brother continues on CBS on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET. Personally, I think this house would be more entertaining if Haley stays, so I'm rooting for that outcome at the end of this week.
